The Priceless Gown Project is a Baltimore, Maryland nonprofit, founded in 2004, that gives free junior and senior prom dresses and accessories to high school girls across Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Visit pricelessgownproject.com for donation details and event dates.
Mar-May is when Priceless Gown Project runs its giveaway, meaning the window when students shop for a dress, not necessarily a donation deadline. Formalwear programs commonly accept donations year round even though they distribute in a narrow spring window, and the most useful time to donate is right after prom, when dresses are current and in good condition. Confirm intake timing with the program before you drive over.
